Step-by-Step Guidance – When You Need It Most

We know that questions can arise at any hour.
That is why we have created clear guidance to help explain what happens — gently and in order — so that nothing feels rushed.

What to Do When Someone Dies

When someone dies, it can feel difficult to know where to begin. Questions often arise quickly — and sometimes late at night — which is why Arlington Funeral Services is here to offer calm guidance when you need it most.

Our Chapel of Rest – A Place of Peace

Our private Chapel of Rest offers families the opportunity to spend quiet time with their loved one before the day of the funeral.
It is a gentle, safe environment — a space for reflection, final words, and calm moments away from the outside world.

Visits are arranged by appointment, and we will support you throughout.

Direct Cremation – £1,575

A simple and dignified farewell, provided with care

Direct cremation is an unattended cremation without a funeral service at the crematorium. It offers a private and affordable way to say goodbye, while allowing families to arrange a memorial later — in their own way, and at their own pace.

What’s Included

  • Collection into our care

  • Care at our funeral home until cremation

  • All legal paperwork

  • Simple coffin

  • Unattended cremation at a local crematorium

  • Ashes returned in a simple container

What’s Not Included:

  • No funeral service or attendance

  • No procession or Chapel of Rest visit

  • No flowers or transport (available separately)

Families appreciate direct cremation for its simplicity, affordability, and time to make personal decisions later. Even with a simpler choice — our level of care never changes.

To talk through this option gently, please contact us.
